What? serious? Germany is trying to do that? Is this a multiplayer game? Or is the AI trying that!!!! Cool
Its the AI, though Britain clung on with its teeth and has apparently turned the tide! Brits are holding onto Egypt too, but Sinai Pennisula (i believe, SP?) got attacked from the rear by Italians. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Your kidding! I have never seen that before(unless i'm playing as Germany of course). Is Italy moving towards Egypt or North through French controlled Palistine?
Well, Vichy France Formed, so the French-Syria turned into Lebanon and Syria (and out of war). Italy is getting held back near Al Alamein (ironic) but landed in Tel-Aviv and took over that side of the Suez, now along my border. Trying to get out of Alliance with British, but as Puppet, that doesn't seem possible. And yes, first time i have seen Germans do that! But they still held most of their divisions back, in France (Atlantic Wall) instead of pushing to finish off the Brits (who somehow managed to retake their Island). South Africa left the Alliance early, dunno how. Apparently I am stuck (unless i can find a console command that will allow me to leave the Allies).
You could change your political ideoogy, couldn't you? Britian would most likely kick you out if you turn communist or something.
I am not sure if they would? I am their puppet, after all, and all the Oil I produce (which has more then doubled I think with my 'acquisitions') gets sent to England. Seriously, ALL of it. My counter stays at 1000 Oil. So, the daily amount i make (which is a lot) goes to England.
So recently checked. Start out producing 12 Oil a day (i believe). With the additions of most of Saudi Arabia and Persia, I produce upwards of 68 Oil a day - which is a LOT of Oil! Now, if I had more manpower, I'd actually be able to attack (and take) India!
Well, I plan on updating the AAR tonight. Right now, I am part of the AXIS (hehe) but for some reason the AI is horrible. A Greek Territory has Rebels in it, and the Italians have a tank division right next door, but haven't attack in months. The Germans have a huge stack - 10+ divisions) in Yugoslavia, far from any front, who haven't done anything. Germany should also have finished of the UK, but again didn't send any troops over to the UK, instead forming them up along the Atlantic Coast.... As for my plans, my 6 Divisions are playing Checkers with the British in Persia. The British, with maybe 4 Divisions, are superior to me, but the Mountains in the middle of Persia give me the edge in combat (defensive) while when I go on the offensive, the position of Afghanistan forces the British forces to Bottle-neck, stemming my attack. I also have 4 divisions in Saudi Arabia, playing Cat to the British Division (Mouse) which is a wee bit frustrating, since i'd rather move them over to Persia. Of course, this would leave me open to an invasion, but I am hoping that the British are too stretched to do that. Would be nice if Italians/Germans sent troops to aid me...
Yep. They landed in 'Israel' and took over the Suez on that side. They are hung up around Al Alamein in Egypt.
ahh so they're doing well then? Whats your wider goals after securing the immediate area? East, west or North?
No, the Axis were doing well, but not so much anymore. They were seriously 4 territories away from taking the UK out. The Axis would do better if Germany moved that mysterious Stack, and if Italy only defended beaches, instead of every ocean-side province. With the Suez in their control, they just need to stick their fleets next to the Gibraltar Straights and sink any ships that try to come in that way. No need to defend all that ocean territory. My only option is East into India. I've taken everything else that I can possible take. Russia will probably rape me from the North when the time comes, but I am slowly starting to pump out Infantry. Luckily, the British gave me tons of tech while I was with them, so i have '41 Infatry, just like them, but am lacking the Land Doctrines to make them equal. Also lacking brigade attachments of any sort (All Great War era presently). But Iraq only starts with 1 tech time, and not until I took Persia did I get a 2nd Tech Team (go figure). Taking India will be a very ambitious undertaking with out the aid of Allies.
Why don't you build a few transports and start an overseas empire? Are you allied with Japan? You could invade the east indies if they havent already.
I only have about...hmm...8 Infantry Divisions at the moment. Hanging on by the skin of my teeth right now until I can either deploy more or transfer 3 Divisions over to the 'Front'. My IC is tiny, so i can barely build 1 Infantry Division at a time and still reinforce and produce supplies for my current armed forces.
